Martin was initially reluctant to do the show, partially because he didn't want to turn down movie and nightclub performances. He demanded a high salary and that he need only show up for the actual taping of the show - and to his surprise, the network agreed. The show was heavy on physical comedy, rather than just quips, and if Martin flubbed a line or forgot a lyric, he refused to do a retake, and the mistake - and his recovery from it - would remain in the show. Martin believed that an important key to his popularity was that he did not put on airs.

The show was a sparkling gem of fresh entertainment, and was considered suitable and entertaining for all ages. Although Martin's act was that of a drunken playboy, the ever-present old-fashioned glass in his hand had apple juice in it.

A regular segment had him singing while Ken Lane played the grand piano; Martin often tried to make Lane laugh hard enough to break his concentration. Bandleader Les Brown was also a regular, as were The Golddiggers (including Jayne Kennedy). In later seasons, other regular performers were added, such as Key Medford, Lou Jacobi, Tom Bosley, Marian Mercer, Dom DeLuise, Nipsey Russell and Rodney Dangerfield.

A continual gag on the show would have a knock from the closet door on the set, Martin opening the door to reveal an unnanounced celebrity guest. Often, even Martin didn't know who the guest would be to make it more of a surprise.

When the show was cancelled in 1974, a series of Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts were produced in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel (a tradition started on the variety series' last season).
